What Are You Printing Today?

Since last year, I’ve switched to using PLA+, its tougher than the normal PLA

PLA+ doesn't mean much. It is PLA with some additives. What additives depends on who made it. I bought a few cheap rolls of GooFoo PLA+ which I find to be pretty good. I also have some matte PLA+ from Tinmorray and a few colors of PLA+ from eSUN.

That said I haven't done any detailed tests or comparisons to know if it's any better or worse than all the other filaments

Well don’t keep us in suspense any longer..:eek:

Make up a project that you did before, and do a comparison.. We’re all ears…:caf
 
The new car has a keyless entry fob. If I attach it to a key ring or even keep it in the same pocket it is going to get scratched to hell. I wondered if I could find a cover or pouch to protect it. I found a half cover here which half protects it.

Then I thought most of the time I only really need a single yale key so I modified the cover to incorporate one. Printed in TPU.

My garden seat was looking a little bit old and tired so I pick up a new metal one at the local store, but on assembly it had a straight back on it, so up stepped my 3D printer to the rescue once again..

I was able to make a slight adjustment to the back angle, and with a few new drill holes it turned out perfect..

I decided it was time to give Baby Wilson a new face lift, she’s been around now for quite some time and was looking a bit tired..

So what do you Reckon ?..

Well I’m busy again today, I found some of the Filament suppliers are selling filament without Reels, just the filament at a good price reduction, So

I decided to make my own reusable Reel in 3 pieces like this..

It looks like any other empty Reel, but it comes apart in pieces for easy assembly after you install the new filament..
